Niseko Snow Report, 3 April 2018

*0cm has fallen in the last 24 hours in Niseko. At 08:00 today the temperature was 4°C. We have an overcast morning and the forecasted rain has thankfully not arrived. The snow is looking pretty dirty with Kousa ( yellow sand ) now quite evident. With colder temperatures expected over the next few days the snow conditions on the mountain will be a bit firmer. It is possible we will get some spring snowfall overnight…an April dump?

360niseko Snow Station Readings Disclaimer

The 360niseko’s snow station for the 2017-18 season is in Higashiyama at 200m *The Hirafu Gondola is at 305m. Please be aware that this new reading is NOT in Hirafu village but a few kilometers down the road. There is always a deviation how and where the snow falls – the area is famous for micro climates and mini weather patterns. Some days there may be 10cm in Annupuri and 25cm in Hanazono and vice versa – some days 30cm of fresh snowfall comes down everywhere!! Altitude plays a big part as well so please don’t take the 360niseko snow readings as being definitive – the readings are what is outside our house on the ground.
